The Brothers Karamazov: A Novel in Four Parts With Epilogue by Larissa Volokhonsky, Richard Pevear, Fyodor Dostoevsky
5.0

A tremendous novel and a highly accessible translation for the contemporary reader. The novel’s climax centers around a courtroom drama, but The Brothers Karamazov is about far more than just the central parricide. Alyosha’s journey of faith was arguably my favorite part of the novel — especially his relationship with the village children as they reconcile and mourn for their ill-fated friend Ilyusha, and his crisis of faith surrounding the death of his beloved Elder Zosima.

Truly beautiful, a masterpiece that stands the test of time. A must-read for any classics lover.
